The Kepublicun Party and the Consti
tution. We are among those who believe that the
entire course of the Republican party, from
the breaking out of the war down to the
present time, is capable of a full anl tri
umphant constitutional justification. We
hold that its action has been constitutional
throughout.
The Constitution assumes that a state of
war may prevail. When it does prevail the
laws and usages of war become constitutional.
Were this not so, it would be impossible to
kill a public enemy in battle on our own soil,
because the Constitution declares that no
person shall "be deprived of life, liberty, or
property without due proves of lair." Hence
we conclude that those acts of the Oovrrnment
during our late war, which were so vehe
mently denounced by the Democratic party
as unconstitutional, such as arbitrary arrests,
military trials, the emancipation of slaves,
etc., were in reality just as truly and strictly
constitutional as the killing of Rebels in
battle, their capture and confinement as pri
soners of war, or the destruction of their
cannon, horses, foundries, bridges, ships, or
other property.
If we advance a step further, and come
down to the great question of reconstruction,
we here find the Republican party still carry
ing out the express provisions of the Consti
tution. The overthrow of the Rebellion left
the Southern State, in the language of Presi
dent Johnson, "without civil gocernment." The
first question that arose was, who should take
the initiative in the work of reconstruction ?
And in reply to this tho Constitution furnished
the ready answer, "that the United States shall
guarantee to every State in this Union a re
publican form of government." 15nt the
United States can only act through the Legis
lative branch of its Government. The Execu
tive is restricted to the execution of law; the
Judiciary, to the adjudication of cases arising
under the law. Hene the work of recon
struction belongs solely to the Congress of
the United States. The President's attempt
to do this work was in the highest degree un
constitutional, and Congress in resisting it
and treating what he had done as a nullity,
was simply defending the integrity and
supremacy of the Constitution against a most
flagrant and dangerous assault.
This brings us linally to the plan of recen
structiou upon which Congress was bound
by the Constitution to act. And here it is
vitally important to note the change in the
status of the late slaves caused by the aboli
tion of slavery.
The slare was not regarded as a part of the
political community. He was a chattel, a
thing, a mere piece of property. He could
not be taxed, for he could nut hold property.
He could not make a contract, lie could
hardly be said to commit a crime. If he were
vicious or destructive, he might be proceeded
against by law and deprived of his life; but it
was on the same principle that a vicious horse
or ox might be ordered to be destroyed. Now,
on this theory, granting it not to have been a
most abhorent one, slavery could exist in a
State which had a republican form of govern
ment. There is no parodox in this, if we
assume, as the law of slavery did, that the
slave was, as to all the purposes of govern
ment, not a person but a thing. He could no
more be a member of the political State than a
horse or a mule could. This is a very different
case from the existence of a class of persons,
members of the political community by birth,
owning property, paying taxes, making con
tracts, etc., and yet denied all participation in
the government of the State. And it is in
teresting to observe that the existence of such
a class of persons was comparatively unknown
in the earlier days of tho Republic. Though
slavery prevailed in most of the States at that
time, yet in nearly all of them the tmaitcljuited
slave became at once a citizen, enjoying all the
rights and privileges of citizens upon tho same
terms as others. Freemen were assumed to
stand upon an equality. The existence in the
community of a class of perpetually dis
franchised freemen would have been looked
upon as a gross violation of a republican form
of government.
Now, the abolition of slavery at once made
the whole body of previous slaves members of
the State. They were no longer things, hut
persons. They could now own property, make
contracts, pay taxes, and exercise all the usual
functions of citizeni. In the eye of the Con
stitution there was nothing to distinguish
them from the other members of the political
community. When, therefore, at the close of
the war, the Rebel State Governments had
vanished with the Rebellion, and the whole
South was a tabula rasa, whereon a new order
of things was to be written, Congress in recon
structing the local Governments could make
no distinction among the people it found there,
except on account of crime. It could no more
recognize the whites as exclusively the politi
cal community, than it could the blacks. To
have excluded the blacks from participation in
the political power of the inchoate States would
have been to create not republican forms of
government, but aristocratic forms. It would
have been to eercise an arbitrary and despotic
power which the Constitution does not confer.
In some of the Southern States, tlw blacks
constitute a majority of all tho oiti7ns; on
what posmble ground could Congress havo dis
franchised the majority, and handed over tho
power to the minority T The thing is prepos
terous. It could not le done. In recognizing
no distinctions among the tropin, Congress ha.H
adhered to tho letter and spirit of tho Consti
tution, and is reconstructing the South upon
a constitutional no less than a republican basis.
From this briet review, it will le seen how
firm and impregnable is tho position oocupied
by the Republican party. Its whole record is
luminous with devotion to tho Constitution.
Its course has been consistent and logical
throughout. Grant the war to have Wen
constitutional, and all the other steps follow
in necessary succession. And it is significant
that the enemies of the Republican party have
assailed each of its acts, from the commence
ment of the war down to the passage of the
Reconstruction bill, with equal bitterness.
The real author of the message vetoing tho
Reconstruction bill maintained, as a member
of James Buchanan's Cabinet, at the breaking
out of the war, that it was unconstitutional to
use coercion against the Rebels. There has
been a parallelism throughout the whole
struggle the Rebels and their allies, with their
false and fallacious theories of the Constitu
tion, on the one side, and the great masses of
the people, acting through the Republican
party in defense of the Constitution and the
Union, on the other.
Another Consolation (ione.
"We sire perhaps even more gratified at an
other Item of news than with those notice I
above, viz., that Generals Sherman, Neholleld,
Meade, Hancock, and McDowell will command
the Southern military districts. These olllcers,
we believe, will preserve order and protect the
communities under their authority with vlgi
lance and fairness. There Is not a fanatic
amongst them. They are gentlemen and regu
lar army olllcers, and from tho experience of
our people, they know how far preferable such
officers are to political Generals." Richmond
linatch.
Alas for Southern hopes ! Neither Sher
man, Meade, Hancock, nor McDowellhas hoeu
placed over them, but Sickles, Sheridan, and
Thomas, every one of whom, we fear, are
viewed by the Dispatch as "political Gene
rals." Sk.nsihi.k. The best advice which has been
tendered to the Southern people comes from
the Atlanta ntclli'jcnccr, which says: "bet
our people go to work and leave politics and
party alone ! In industrial pursuits they will
find individual prosperity; that will soon pro
duce prosperity in the State ; and general
prosperity realized, political freedom will as
surely follow as night does the day." Now,
some such advice is much needed, and that it
will likely go unheeded, is shown by the arti
cle of Raphael Semmes in his paper, the
Memphis JJntletin:
We would scour the pine woods of Missis
sippi and Alabama to-morrow, and drive before
us hundreds and thousands of active, .stalwart
young white laborers, who are wasting their
time In ut ter and entire idleness, because they
are loo proud or too luzy to work. Many of tho
families to which these youua vagabonds be
long are almost in u starving condition, some
of luem beini; tbe actual reoioieuts of charity
from the Kieedmon's Hureau."
A Staiii.k Gov'KiiXMK.NT. An Fnglish statist
has found that since 1821 Mexico has had
twenty-three Presidents, seven Dictators, two
Emperors, one Vice-President, and one Gene
ralissimo, or an average of one ruler every
six months. M aximilian has had a longer
reign than any of them.

WHAT IS DYSPEPSIA?
DYSPEPSIA HAS THE FOLLOWING
H mi-XOITI!tt
1st. A conttant pain or tneainrt in ih pilot
the ttiomach Which In canned bra
contraction of tbe ntomach upon undlKelcl
iuuu, it Kuucrnny ufxiun lmmeuiaieiy or a,
bliort time after eating; la often very aevere
tlUU UUHUUHIt',
2d. Flautrnre and Acidity. Thene nvmntnma
arlno from the indlKestloti of food, which for-
ineuiH inatena 01 ingeming.
3d. Costivenex and Tioss of Annctilc. ThMta
symptoinB are the pfl'ectn of the unnatural con
dlllon of food in the Ktoniach, and the want of
a pure bile and Rti.ttrio Juice. Tbe stomach in
often painfully dlsteudcd by wind; the appetite
is Borueumcii voracious.
4th. Gloom and Dnrression of SiiirUn. Thin
atate unfit many for the enjoyment of life, aud
la CHiiHcd oy ine impure uioua rurnisnea oy lm
perfi'cl diiiCHlioii. In this Htnee of the dlaeaaa
many perHinia commit HUtclde. There la a
coiiHtant foieomling of evil, aud an lndiflerenoo
and poBltlve inability to perforin the oflicea
01 me.
5tli. Diarrhora. Afterbeinir at first costive, the
sullerer Is afllicted with diarrhoea, which is
owing to a diseased condition of the bowels,
produced by tho undigested food, which la
tvneuated in the same condition as when,
eaten, and of course gives no strength to the
eystem.
8th. i'ot'ns in all Parti of the 8temKrM
from the action of impure olood upon the
nerves. They are felt chiefly in the bead,
sides, and breast, and in tbe extremities. Ia
many cases there is an uneasiness in the
throat, with a sense of choitlng or suffoca
tion; the mouth is often clammy, with a bad
taste and furred tougue.
7th. Consumptive Symptom and Palpilationiof
the Heart. Many persons pronounced ns hav
ing these diseases have, in fact, nothing but
Uyspepsia, the lung and heart disease being
only symptoms.
8th. Cough. This Is a very frequent symptom
of Dyspepsiu, and leads very often into con
firmed consumption.
9th. Want of Sleep. A very distressing symp
tom, resulting from menial derangement.
10th. Symptoms of Ertemal Jielation. The
pntlent is all'ected painfully by cold and beat,
which is owing to unnatural dryness of skin,
and the sklu is often all'ected by eruptions and
tetters. Tbe gloomy dyspeptic avoids society
as much as possible.
11th. Vomiting. A frequent and distressing
symptom. Jt relieves the pain, but emaciates
and wears out the patient.
12tb. Ihzziness. dimness of vision, headache, and
staggering in walking. -These are very alarmius
symptoms, which are speedily removed by our
medicines; but if neglected are quickly followed
by numbness aud sudden death.
13tb. It is impohslble for us to give all the
symptoms of Dyspepsia in so small a space, but
tbe above are considered sullleient, 11 we add
that tho patient loses his momory and regard
to surrounding objects, and frequently become
morose and sour in disposition. We should
suy, however, that pains In the Joints and stiff
ness of the limbs, which go by trie name of
rheumatism and neuralgia, are produced by
Dyspepsia. Also, a hardness of the muscles ot
the abdomen, which becomes contracted and
hnrd; and in some cases the belly sinks instead
of being gently prominent.
N. B. Perhaps we have not said enough of
that strongest symptom of Dyspepsia, melan
choly. We have examined hundreds of cases
of Dyspepsia, who were so much affected la
their minds that they constantly forbode loss of
their reason, which unfitted them for business
of any kind, and many of them have been
patients of the Insane Asylum, who are now
permanently cured by our medicine.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent
yearly, and hundreds and thousauds of the best
men and women of America linger In pain and
die, and fill a premature grave, with that awful
disease, Dyspepsia. They try this physiolan,
and that physician, but alas! alas! no relief, no
cure; aud tbe next we hear of them they have
gone "to that bourne from whence no traveller
returns."
Out of tbe thousands of cases or Dyspepsia
that have used Dr. Wlsliurt's Great American
Dyspepsia nils and Pine Tree Tar Cordial, not
one of them has failed of a perfect cure. We
warrant a perlect cure In every case. 110 matter

PINE TKEE TAR CORDIAL
A CiREAT REMEDY FOR THE CURE OF
THROAT AND LUNU DISEASES.
VINE THEE TAR CORDIAL.
It Is the vital principle of the Pine Tree ob
tained by a peculiar process In the distillation
of the tar, by which its highest medical pro
perties are retained.
It Is the only safe and reliable remedy whiou
has ever been prepared from the Juice of the
Pine Tree.
It Invigorates tbe digestive organs, and re
stores tbe appetite.
It strengthens the debilitated system.
It purities aud enriches the blood, and expels
from tbe system the corruption which scrofula
breeds on the lungs.
It dissolves tbe mucus or phlegm which stops
tbe air passuges of the lungs.
Its healing principle acts upon the Irritated
surface of the lungs and throat, penetrating to
each diseased part, relieving pain aud subduing
inflammation.
It is the result of years of study and expert
ment, and It is ottered to the aflliated with the
positive assurance of Its power to cure IX the
patient has not too long delayed a resort to the
means of cure. '
CAl'TIOX.
Whereas, Buse and designing men, regardless
of the lives of the sick, and with a view solely
to their own pockets, are making and vending
a spurious article worse than useless repre
senting It as my Pine Tree Cordial, copying, la
some cases, my lubels aud bottles, with slight
variation to protect them from the law, the
subscriber has been induced, as a protection
to the public, to publish a fao simile of bis bot
tles as las.t patented by the United States Gov
ernment, and hereby cautions all persons who
value their health aud lire against purchasing
any of the many preparations offered for sale
m Tar Cordial, uuless my name and a Pine
Tree is blown on the bottle; all others being a
Wicked Imposition to deeeive the suffering and
fleece them of their money, regardless of con
sequences.
The genuine Pine Tree Tar Cordial la made
by a process and of Ingredients known only to
myself, which secret has never been divulged;
and any and all persons claiming to make my
Pine Tree Tar Cordial are but vile impostors.
